Review that I don't like.. I don't like the album either.

I have always thought that this film is Jarmusch's least successful work; it disappointed me quite a bit! I believe that part of the reason for this disappointment is also related to the irritating soundtrack... irritating may not be the right word, but whenever I think of the music in this film, it’s always the first thing that comes to mind.

Great review! However, the leader of the early Soft Machine was certainly not Wyatt... the undisputed leader was Ayers!

Kosmogabri, I also prefer Masada, even if only slightly... Regarding the brevity of the review, it’s a deliberate choice; personally, I’m not drawn to long reviews. Recently, many have been published, and I found them all terribly boring... I believe that sometimes a few lines can make concepts stronger and brighter. The image of the album being reviewed shouldn’t be drowned in a sea of letters; on the contrary, it should be clear and shining, like a lightning bolt... especially for those who don’t know the album! That said, I’m not implying that there aren’t beautiful, indeed exquisite long or lengthy reviews, but I prefer the shorter ones, especially if the right key can be found!... Whether I’ve managed to find that key, I don’t know, and anyway, it’s not for me to say. In any case, I will continue to search for it!

I'm not sure either, anyway the first album by Naked City is Torture Garden (1989), which contained all mini tracks (only a few lasted over a minute) composed with Boredoms' vocalist Yamatsuka Eye, some of those compositions were later introduced in Naked City which was released shortly after... in any case, Torture Garden, this album and all the others are all attributable to Zorn... let's say like the Wings albums are all attributable to McCartney.

Anyway, Francesco Zappa was an Italian composer of the eighteenth century, and Frank decided to make a record of his compositions because they had the same name. The musical quality of the music, both of the original and Frank's album, is certainly not of a high level and in fact, it wasn't a new approach in the world of music; even Walter Carlos had distinguished himself with similar projects (A Clockwork Orange and Switched On-Bach) but with decidedly better results. I believe that a comparison cannot be made with Zorn's album, which is certainly not a mockery, but quite the opposite, as it is a passionate tribute to the music of one of his favorite musicians and composers.

Yes, I know the one by Zappa, but I prefer this one! I don't know the one by Fantomas, but I'll try to get it as soon as possible... it sounds very interesting!

Yes, I got it, damn! Your opinion is shared by many... I believe that most listeners who have crossed paths with Zorn come from a "rock" culture (like me, and it seems you hail from the same lands) and are therefore somewhat tied to the canonical form of the song or to more "linear" soundtracks... I don't know, but this is one reason why many people, while acknowledging Zorn's undeniable artistic talent, find his music annoying or, to put it better, "disconcerting."
